One of the most important pieces of information you can have at your disposal when building a shed is a good set of shed plans.
When building a large structure like a 12×20 shed it is even more critical to have accurate and easy to understand construction drawings.
You will use the 12×20 shed plans every step of the way, from the planning stages to loading the shed with your things.
Four Ways the 12×20 Shed Plans Will Help

Locating the Shed on Your Property

Figuring out where you will put the storage building is a critical first step in planning.
Part of deciding on how large of a shed to build is figuring out where on your property it will fit.
When building a 12×20 shed you will need a fairly large piece of ground to build on.
Use the shed plans to physically stake out the footprint of the shed on the ground.
This helps you get a feel for how it will affect other things in your yard.
If after seeing the footprint drawn on the ground you do not like its placement you can easily move the stakes to get the shed placement perfect.
Move it around until you are happy with the shed location.

Working With Building Officials

A 12×20 shed plan almost always needs a building permit.
Even if you do not need a building permit it is wise to take the shed plans down to the local building authority and discuss with them what you would like to do.
The city or county building department will know about any utility easements on your property as well as regulations on the shed height, proximity to other structures and size restrictions.
Cost Estimates

Having a good set of shed plans and a material take off will make the job of determining how much the shed will cost to build much easier.
By sending the material take off to several building supply stores you can get a good idea of how much the shed will cost to build.
The 12×20 shed is quite large and therefore will cost a fair amount to build so it helps to have an idea of your costs before you actually go to the store to order the materials.

Building the Shed

After going through the planning stages of shed building described above you will be ready to build your shed.
This is where the shed plan really show their worth.
If the shed plans have accurate and detailed information the there will not be any major questions about the shed building process.
Shed plan information like floor framing plans, wall framing plans and roof framing plans are necessary to insure that you end up with the shed you thought you purchased the plans to.
Even more important are the fine details like roof to wall connections and truss construction layout details.

This video is about how to build a 16×20 shed with a lean to roof. If you want a large storage building on your property that can be built with low costs, this is the project to choose.

This shed is built on really sturdy 2×4 wall framing and it also features a 2×10 roof structure. The shed features double doors to the front, but you can easily make adjustments and add windows or a single door for easier access.

My intro video in my building of a 16×20 shed building, When I went to the big box store to buy a shed, I was shocked at the cost for a 16×20 shed build. I went online shortly after and found that trying to buy 16×20 shed plans was going to be a nightmare as most plans were just too complicated to build. Since I did not want to pay for plans and had some experience in AutoCAD, I decided to do this myself.

I decided to open up AutoCAD and design it myself. I hope you subscribe to my channel and watch me build this from beginning to end.

In the last episode we got the foundation all set up, and now it is time to start the shed floor framing. Without previous experience, I found a dozen different techniques in shed floor framing and landed on the process I used in this video. As I progressed through the shed floor framing, the value of the Bostich 33-degree nailer showed. (Link: https://amzn.to/2MNsFcd). Being able to switch out the tips and quickly transition from framing nails to joist hanger nails was a huge time saver.

I made some mistakes during the shed floor framing process, mostly because I did not do a good job squaring up my foundation. Learn from my mistakes and your shed floor framing will be a lot more successful than mine!
